Commentary
The results for the 6 months ended 31 December 2010 are characterised by
improved operational performance, with a 13 % increase in revenue resulting in a
10 % increase in operating profit, over the corresponding period. Primary
contributors to the increase in revenue were the increase in volumes at existing
clients; an increase in the number of new customers; an annual price increase
and an increase in the contribution of new products. The Group`s core software
revenue, increased by an impressive 15 % (2009 - 6%), over the corresponding
period. A 5 % increase in profit before tax was achieved after charges of R1,2
million pertaining to expenses incurred in the Cargowise division. Three
Cargowise implementations are currently in progress and revenues will commence
in the second half.
Increased profit before tax, together with a lower charge for secondary tax on
companies, resulted in a 18% increase in profit for the period.
Cash generation by operations remains strong and in line with operating profit.
Dividend payments, which remain at very satisfactory levels, have resulted in
lower average cash balances, which together with interest rate cuts have
resulted in lower finance income for the period.
During the period, the Group was rated as a value-added level 6 BBBEE
contributor. Management are mindful of the importance of BBBEE in bringing about
change and are committed to developing the Group`s BBBEE profile, in a
meaningful, sustainable manner.
ProspectsIndications are that the growth in core revenues will continue in the
second half. This will be bolstered by the initial Cargowise revenues.
At the time of publication of this announcement, the Company is engaged in
negotiations, which if successfully concluded may affect its share price.
Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement dated 1 March 2011, and
advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in the company`s
securities.
Basis of preparationThe reviewed condensed consolidated interim financial
statement for the six months ended 31 December 2010 have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34
Interim Financial Reporting, the AC 500 series issued by the Accounting
Practices Board, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the South
African Companies Act, 1973 as amended.
The accounting policies applied in the presentation of the condensed
consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied for
the year ended 30 June 2010, except for new standards and interpretations that
became effective on 1 July 2010. The adoption of these standards has had no
effect on the results for the period nor has it required the restatement of any
prior year figures. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been presented on the historical cost basis and are presented in Rand, which is
Compu-Clearing`s functional and presentation currency.
This interim report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial
statements for the year ended 30 June 2010.
Related party transactionsThere has been no significant change in related party
relationships since the previous year.
Other than in the normal course of business, there have been no significant
transactions during the period with associate companies, joint ventures and
other related parties.
Distributions to shareholders
Compu-Clearing has a policy of paying a distribution at year end. As a result,
the company has not declared an interim distribution.
Subsequent events
No material events have occurred between the reporting date and the date of
approval of this condensed consolidated interim financial statement, knowledge
of which would affect the ability of the users of this statement to make proper
evaluations and decisions.
Review report
The consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2010 and the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity,
segmental analysis and cash flows for the period then ended have been reviewed
by KPMG Inc. Their unmodified review report is available for inspection at the
registered office of the company.
